OpenHuman is an open-source agentic assistant that is designed to integrate with you in your daily life. Here's what makes OpenHuman special: - **Simple, UI-first** — A **clean** desktop experience and short onboarding paths so you can go from install to a **working agent in a few clicks**, without a config-first setup. You don't need a terminal to run OpenHuman. - **One subscription, many providers** — You only need **one** account to get access to many agentic APIs (AI Models, Search, Webhooks/Tunnels and other 3rd party APIs etc..), simplifying the experience to get a powerful agent going. - **Rich Skills** — Plug into **Gmail**, **Slack**, **Notion**, and the rest of your stack via **rich, feature-backed skills**. Connections are typically **one click** through setup wizards instead of wiring APIs by hand. Workflow data is kept **on device**, **encrypted locally**, and treated as **yours**: encryption and sensitive context stay **on your machine**. **Webhooks** give **instant feedback** into the agent when external systems or skills emit events, so the loop stays tight without constant polling. - **Local knowledge base** — Built from **your data and your activity**. How you work across tools, sessions, and connected services—so the agent gets **rich, workflow-aware context**, not a one-off chat transcript. Everything is **stored on your machine** and compounding over time without becoming a cloud dossier. **Channels**, **skills** and ongoing **conversations** feed the same loop so day-to-day context does not reset every session. - **Local AI model** — The **Rust core** exposes **local AI** paths (and the desktop bundle can ship **local/bundled runners** where applicable) for the workloads above—vision snippets, speech helpers, summarization, tooling—so sensitive steps can stay **off the cloud** when you choose. - **Deep desktop integrations** — OpenHuman is a **native desktop** assistant, not a web-only chat: **memory-aware keyboard autocomplete**, **voice** (**STT** listening and **TTS** replies), **screen intelligence** that understands what is on screen and feeds your local context, plus windowing and OS-level permissions—so the agent meets you **on the machine**, not trapped in a browser tab. Architecture: [`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md). Contributor orientation: [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](./CONTRIBUTING.md). Running from source: [`docs/install.md`](docs/install.md#running-from-source). Cloud-hosting the headless core: [`docs/CLOUD_DEPLOY.md`](docs/CLOUD_DEPLOY.md). ## Highlights - **[Neocortex](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/technology/neocortex)** — local-first knowledge base that learns from your data and activity, compounding context across tools and sessions. - **[The Subconscious](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/technology/the-subconscious)** — background self-learning loops that turn everyday usage into workflow-aware intelligence. - **[Screen Intelligence](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/features/screen-intelligence)** — the agent sees what's on your screen and feeds it into your local context. - **[Inline Autocomplete](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/features/inline-autocomplete)** — memory-aware keyboard autocomplete anywhere on your desktop. - **[Voice (STT + TTS)](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/features/voice-speech-to-text)** — speak to OpenHuman and hear it reply, natively on the desktop. - **[Skills & Integrations](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/product/skills-and-integrations)** — one-click skills for Gmail, Slack, Notion and the rest of your stack, with local encryption and webhooks for instant feedback. - **[Messaging Channels](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/product/messaging-channels)** — inbound/outbound across the channels you already use, routed through your agent. - **[Teams & Organizations](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/product/teams)** — shared workspaces for collaborating with an agent across a team. - **[Rewards & Achievements](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/product/rewards-and-achievements)** — gamified progression as your agent grows with you. - **[Privacy & Security](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/product/privacy-and-security)** — workflow data stays on device, encrypted locally, and treated as yours. ## OpenHuman vs other agents High-level comparison (products evolve—verify against each vendor). OpenHuman is built to **minimize vendor sprawl**, keep **workflow knowledge on-device**, and ship **deep desktop** features—not only chat. | | Claude Code/Cowork | OpenClaw | Hermes Agent | OpenHuman | | ----------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------- | | **Open-source** | 🚫 Proprietary | ✅ MIT | ✅ MIT | ✅ GNU | | **Simple to start** | ✅ Desktop + CLI | ⚠️ Terminal-first | ⚠️ Terminal-first | ✅ Clean UI, minutes | | **Cost** | ⚠️ Sub + add-ons | ⚠️ BYO models | ⚠️ BYO models | ✅ Local-friendly | | **Memory & KB** | ✅ Chat-scoped | ⚠️ Plugin-reliant | ✅ Self-learning | 🚀 Local KB + learning | | **API sprawl** | 🚫 Extra keys | 🚫 BYOK | 🚫 Multi-vendor | ✅ One account | | **Extensibility** | ✅ MCP | ✅ SKILL.md | ✅ SKILL.md | 🚀 Rich Skills | | **Desktop integration** | ⚠️ Basic | ⚠️ Light | ⚠️ Light | ✅ STT/TTS/screen/more | # Star us on GitHub _Building toward AGI and artificial consciousness?
